20.04.2025 ⇢ Day Putin's Easter Truce Collapsed While Prince Andrew Reappeared
⌨
Putin's announced Easter ceasefire dominated the news cycle, with coverage evolving from initial reports to full dismissal. By morning, Zelenskyy accused Russia of continuing attacks despite the truce, calling it merely "PR" while both sides exchanged blame for violations. The phrase "impression of a ceasefire" featured prominently across outlets.
Following yesterday's statue defacement protests, gender ruling tensions continued with Supreme Court judges reportedly receiving death threats over their biological definition of "woman."
Prince Andrew made a rare public appearance at the Easter Sunday service alongside King Charles and Queen Camilla, his first royal appearance in 12 months. Reports claimed William "has no time for him" while speculation emerged about a potential return to royal duties.
Other developments included the IDF admitting "professional failures" in Gaza aid worker killings, and reports of the UK seeking to reduce dependence on US weapons parts with increased domestic production.
